The National Monuments Service's description
Depicted as a roofed NE-SW structure described as 'Site of Church' but with no graveyard on the 1837 ed. of the OS 6-inch map, and situated on a gentle SE-facing slope. A Church of Ireland parish church consisting of a rectangular structure (ext. dims 20.2m NE-SW; 9.1m NW-SE) with a sacristy at the N end of the NW wall survives complete but roofless. It has been closed since the 1980s and is within a rectangular graveyard (dims 49m NE-SW; 45m NW-SE) defined by masonry walls, but there is no evidence of an older structure and there are no references to an ancient church in Lustia townland.
